The verdict

Metals runs at 596% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Fixtures, store display, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Metals: 19.7 TCR = 596% of Fixtures, store display, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Metals safety composite

Metals scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 84% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 2%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
